Hi all!
Today I found a nice trick (I find) to create those double dotted notes, which are used in some editions of Early Music, signifying a note with 3x3 length. This is written with two dots vertically aligned.
- create a dotted note (by using a special tuplet to get the right length)
- in another voice create the same note again in unison
- Notation Options > Notes check ‘one dot per notehead’
- Engrave: set second note’s Voice Column Index to same as the first
- hide note head and/or stem
- if desired: switch off playback for second note
- hide tuplet number/bracket
- voila!
I composed a little fragment in early 15th century style to demonstrate:
